Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors could entail a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing floors. The type of renovation work will depend on the kind of the current flooring. In older buildings with period floors such as flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will often consist of repair and cleaning of the existing floor as it will likely be an attractive feature of the home. In newer properties with carpet or hardwood flooring, restoration is more likely to consist of totally exchanging the current floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden floors, the process of restoration typically consists of sanding the top layer of hardwood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will commonly require replacing the carpet. Specialist floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired flooring or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools may also be required for repairing or replacing flooring.
